    Cask beer in Toronto?

    in Ontario: Dining

    Posted

    Ahhhhh... proper Cask Conditioned beer... Yum.

    I was just back in Scotland and had one of the most PERFECT pints of Caledonian 80 shilling ever at the Barony Bar, Broughton Street, Edinburgh.

    Amazing.

    There's nowhere in Toronto that comes close to serving a pint that good.

    (Unless of course you can tell me otherwise???)

    I have some pics of my favourite pubs here:

    Just don't look at all the other shots I have up there... not pretty.

    Roti Lady Take Out in Parkdale

    Oh my goodness... I have lived nearby for a wee while and had never visited until last night.

    This takeout place is not much to look at but...

    I ordered an oxtail dinner with rice and beans... and some coleslaw...

    And I have to say it was absolutely delicious!!!

    I will be back very, very soon.

    Michael Schmidt vs Ministry of Natural Reso

    Not selfpromotion in the slightest!

    I was actually contacted by another egulleter earlier today who suggested I post something about the cause.

    When I questioned the deletion I received this message:

    "Hi Non Doctor, you've been sent the following by a Chowhound moderator:

    Chowhound has a very narrow focus - sharing tips on where to find deliciousness. Political topics and discussion of government policy, even when food related, is too far afield from that mission. We hope you understand. "

    Perhaps I am waaaay off the mark but I felt that the subject matter was both topical and poignant.

    Is it out of bounds for the rather more "liberal" egullet?... let's see shall we...

    I find the issues surrounding Mr. Schmidt's predicament fascinating.

    Michael Schmidt vs Ministry of Natural Reso

    As some of you may know, one of our long-standing suppliers, Michael Schmidt, had all of his dairy equipment and a substantial portion of his product confiscated on Tuesday, November 21 during a raid carried out by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

    Why, you ask? It all comes down to the fact that Michael distributes raw milk contrary to the Milk Act.

    In response to the government’s actions, Michael has gone on a hunger strike.

    To show our support, Chef Jamie Kennedy is attempting to organize a press conference at 9 Church St. on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 10am. Chef encourages anyone who wishes to come out and support Michael and the efforts of all those who are trying to introduce raw milk into Ontario’s dairy community.

    Food and Wine "Hipsters" from Toronto visiting SF

    in California: Dining

    Posted · Edited by Nondoctor (log)

    Well... perhaps "Hipsters" is the wrong descriptor...

    Just looking for somewhere fun and happening...

    Okay,

    A number of us fellows (5) from Toronto are travelling to Amador/Russian River Valley to do the "wine thing" next week.

    But we have one night in SF (Sunday the 13th).

    Our party comprises one Sommelier/two assistant Sommeliers/One Studmuffin-Superstar-Canadian Chef/Owner and finally one Restaurant Owner/Sommelier...

    Ages 26 through 50...

    All of us but one come from here:

    and the interloper comes from here:

    We are looking to go to a couple of tapas style/tapas inspired places (think Casa Mono NYC)...

    And we are not wanting to break the bank... as we are on a wee bit of a budget.

    Casual would be very good.

    I would love (and appreciate) your suggestions.

    Thanks in advance...

    Oh... and a good sleazy place for drinks later would be most appreciated also.
